Well, ftps:// URLs use a different default port (990 instead of 21) and
assumes SSL already from the connect on the control connection, so you
can't just pick one of them at your choice, it all depends on what the
server wants.

And no, if a recent OpenSSL version also gives you this problem then I
don't know what the problem is and you'll need to start debugging or get
someone else to debug it. I've never seen this problem.

I don't think it is firewall-related since the connection is done fine, it
is just the SSL/TLS handshake that fails.

Hi Daniel,

I am getting the same error (output ) without SSLv3 , when used without -3
option it given the same error
curl: (35) Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to ftpssl.xxx.com:21

But if i use the FTPS , then getting the couldn't connect to host error
/usr/local/bin>curl --trace -v -k -T /home/TEST/test.txt
ftps://USERID:PASSWORD_at_ftpssl.xxx.com
== Info: About to connect() to ftpssl.xxx.com port 990 (#0)
== Info: Trying xxx.xxx.xx.xx... == Info: A remote host refused an
attempted connect operation.
== Info: couldn't connect to host
== Info: Closing connection #0

curl: (7) couldn't connect to host

So i am not sure whether this is due to firewall issues or curl/openssl
version issues ?

Also note that you're using an old and insecure OpenSSL version that you
might want to try to upgrade first and retry this with.

First, I made this into a bug report since it really isn't a
feature-request.

But really, what is it that you want? There's some kind of error returned
from OpenSSL. What if you're not enforcing SSLv3?
